Yours-Truly

It seems that a lot of families have been destroyed by all of the bloodshed and corruption that mafia groups like the Colombo family have perpetrated over the years, yet mobsters are generally romanticized in film and on TV. Do you agree that this is how these groups are generally portrayed? Do you think that this is harmful? What is your take on this with your new outlook on life?

You should not hate yourself for this. IMHO this is exactly what the food stamp program was designed to be, a holdover until you get your feet under you.
